Lux
I’M DEAD. That’s the first and only thought that floats through my mind as
the darkness closes in and consumes me.
“Lux!” There’s a voice, a deep baritone drifting through the darkness.
“Lux, wake up.”
The pressure on my chest is gone, and my body instinctively draws in a
lungful of air, waking me up. I sit up abruptly as a coughing fit grips me,
squeezing my lungs. I blink, and see Roman beside me, half on top of my
body.

I’m not dead.
I blink at Roman. “W-what happened?”
“Someone tried to run you over,” he answers, his gaze searching my
face. “Are you okay?”
I pull away, and shake my head, pressing a palm against the gritty
asphalt to steady myself. “Did you tackle me?”
I realize now, the impact I felt was Roman’s huge body. He must have
thrown himself at me to get me out of the way of the car.
His breath is heaving as he studies me, and I know he’s waiting for me
to tell him whether I’m okay or not. But honestly, I don’t know. My head
hurts, and it feels like I’ve been trampled by a herd of elephants—or one
very muscular rich boy.
Somewhere in the distance, tires squeal and the street goes dark again.
Roman and I are lying at the end of someone’s driveway—and that
someone comes out of their house to see what’s going on.
“Everything okay?” the guy asks.
I open my mouth to ask him to call the police, but Roman speaks before
I can. “Yup, fine. Just some asshole speeding. Sorry to bother you,” he says,
gathering me up and helping me stand. “Can you walk?” he asks in a low
tone, for my ears alone.
I nod, and he helps me over to his car, opening the passenger side door,
and guiding me inside. Only when I’m inside his car, staring out of the
windshield, does it dawn on me exactly what just happened.
“W-who was that?” I ask when he slides into the driver’s seat, threading
my fingers together to stop them from trembling. My whole body is
vibrating, though—the adrenaline still pumping through my veins.
“I don’t know. The headlights were blinding. I couldn’t even see the
make of the car,” Roman says, starting the engine. “But whoever it was is
going to be sorry they fucked with you.”
As he peels out of the quiet street, I can see the anger pulling at his
features—even in the near darkness. But is it anger that I was put in danger,
or anger that he was forced to save me?
I still can’t help but wonder if he’s behind all of this somehow. I mean,
it just so happens he reached me in time to shove me out of the way? Is he
trying to play the hero, so I’ll trust him?
